Welcome to my post for Postcard Friendship Friday. As I was looking through my postcards today for one that might go along with Marie's them of "pigs" none came flying out of my collection. Then I spotted the apples and began reading the back.

I can't imagine what it was like traveling distances in the west in 1911. Most likely Mother and Father were on a steamer similar to one of these below on the Columbia River.
This postcard is from the Columbia River Penny Postcard Collection postmarked 1909.

Beautiful cards. It's wonderful to get a glimpse back into someone's life so long ago.
I wish that I could chug down the Columbia river right now! I love that you posted this intriguing postcard back. I ditto Christine's comment...how delightful!
These are such unique and wonderful postcards. I have often driven down the highway which winds along the Columbia River and wondered what it was like in the "olden days."
Lovely post--Happy PFF!
